Nate's POV.I did a bit more paperwork and signed all the documents Jane had given to me earlier that needed to be signed.I did this for over two hours and I completed all the work that I needed to do for the day.After I finished, I turned in to go and rest for the day.I had wanted to go home today so I could see Isabella but the turnout of this didn't make me feel like it anymore.I wanted to make sure that I have everything under control before I can go home to face Isabella.This issue with Mike was just a turn in my flesh.I knew I needed to sort it out as soon as possible before it got completely out of hand.I went into the room that I had at my workplace after Jane came to tell me she was done for the day.She bade me a good night and so did I too.As soon as I stepped into the room, I got a call from Andrew.He said he was coming to see me at work.I asked if there was any problem and he said there was no problem at all.That even made me more worried because I didn't know
Isabella's POVAs soon as I got back into the kitchen, Thelma was already waiting for me.She said, she had checked around the kitchen and she had thought of a meal we could make but she was waiting for me just in case the ladies had another good option or suggestions for the food we should make.I told her immediately that the ladies didn't say anything to me, when I asked them if they had anything in mind for us to make, they all echoed a big “no” all at once.It was as if they had rehearsed it before.I didn't know what to say to them so I just said “okay” and left.They didn't seem to want to speak even if I persuaded them, it would have been a waste of time, effort and energy.Also, looking on the bright side, we are not restricted to making what they want and they are not picky with food too so we can make something very nice ourselves and they will appreciate it. Well, that's true, I'm glad they didn't pick anything too because I have an idea of what when I went to check for
Isabella's POVI watched Andrew leave the kitchen, as he took the food pack along with him and he stylishly stole a glance at Thelma as he left.I cleared my throat as I turned to Thelma to see her face.She made a blank expressionless face but as her friend, I could tell she also saw the way Andrew looked at her.I wanted to even tease her about it but I had a rethink of heart so I decided not to anymore.After what she had faced in the hands of a relationship before, I don't know how long it will take Thelma to give love a chance again.I really wish I could help her but there is little or nothing I could do about it.I immediately put on a smiling face to lighten up the room then I told her to come set the table with me.I had told the ladies to join us in ten minutes and I'm sure they will be here soon.We brought out the food she had served in the serving dishes and we took them to the dining area.We set the tables with plates and all the cutleries that will be needed.She also
Isabella POVAs soon as I got upstairs, I started giggling at my trick to get Thelma and Andrew to be together.I'd stylishly left them all alone in the kitchen, lying to Thelma that I wanted to use the restroom.I need to even go to the restroom and pretend that I have a stomach upset, if not and Thelma finds me here, she is definitely going to kill me.As I stood up to go to the restroom, I heard loud stumps of feet ascending the stairs.I knew for a fact that it was Thelma and she was on her way to the room to come fight me.I hurriedly rushed into the restroom before she came into the room and caught me.I looked at myself in the toilet before she entered and I heard her calling out my name very loudly.Isabella, Isabella.Come out now, wherever you are, she said and I could hear her loud panting coming from the room.I also shouted her name back“ Thelma, that's you right?”I'm in the restroom, I don't know what is wrong with me.She didn't seem to buy the idea and she said to me
Isabella's POVI woke up the next morning, only to check the time on my phone and it was 7:35 am already.I remembered that I had slept off yesterday while I was waiting for Nate's call to come in.I checked my phone for any missed calls or voice messages from him but there were none.I was sad about that.Why did he not call me?Why hasn't he tried to reach out to me after he got my message from Andrew yesterday?Or did he not like it?He probably detest the gesture I showed to him and is he trying to pass that message to me by not giving me a call right?My head was going in circles as I was coming up with different thoughts and scenarios as to why I hadn't received any call from Nate.He probably doesn't like me as much as I thought even though I like him so much.I took my thoughts off of him as I checked the time again.I couldn't believe that I had slept for over 8 hours.I wondered in amazement.I was shocked to have slept so much throughout the night.I sat up on the bed and l
Isabella's POV I laughed at myself for throwing a fit this morning as I stepped out of the kitchen to go get the dining table set.What an eventful morning, it wasn't totally my fault though, I was just pissed at the fact that I had not heard from Nate yet.Then me being me, I had lots of different unpleasant thoughts running through my head.I can't keep up with the feeling of not being wanted by Nate.What if he came to a realisation that I'm not up to his standard?Moreover, I'm just a mere maid working for him in his house.He might not just want to have anything to do with me anymore.Then I recalled our discussion the previous day.There was nothing suspicious about the call, if anything he was happy to hear from me.He had even corrected me from speaking about myself being his maid anymore but I should refer to myself as his girl.When he said it he had meant it or at the least that was what I decoded from our discussion.I can't keep myself from thinking about him.I have tri
Nate's POVSince Mother said she had discussed my coming with Father he seemed indifferent about it.It means I might need to set out a time one of these days to visit them in the house.Though I really do want to see my father, I don't want to have any clash with him because it seems like that is what we do when we see each other.He always has something to want to talk about concerning me and I really don't like it.Everything I do doesn't please him and I have not yet forgotten what he made me pass through because of the dealings that we do in the mafia world.He had cost me the loss of the love of my life then.I should make sure he doesn't get to have anything to do with Isabella so the past would not repeat itself.I just hope that I'm able to do that.I decided to call Isabella again but I only tried it once this time.She didn't answer still and I was worried sick.I felt like I had offended her since she refused to pick up my calls.Isabella's POV We had finished eating and
Isabella's POV.Thelma continued to tease me until she was satisfied and I did not bother to stop her because I knew that she wouldn't have listened to me.I was grateful for the thoughtfulness Nate has.I am grateful for the fact that he took out his time to explain himself to me and he apologised.I really loved it.He had made sure he cleared my doubts and worries.He set me straight on all the double thoughts I was having about him and I appreciate him for it.How can a person be so thoughtful and considerate of another person's feelings?I just need to wait a little bit more so I can confide in Thelma.Lots of time has passed and I and Thelma were in the room together.I felt like she was a lot more calm now and I could talk to her about my concerns.I decided to speak with her then.“ Thelma, I called. I have something I want to discuss with you”.It's been bothering me for a while though and I was worried about it.She looked at me with a serious face.She might have thought so
